Well, I'm sure that would be great, too bad you are in FL. Did you try your local MINI club? Maybe you will have some luck there. If not, I guess if you are ever up near Maryland...

Anybody in MD that I haven't met at a club meet? Or I guess people I have met that want to get together?

Well, when my girlfriend lets me drive it (hence my user name, I'm like her personal mechanic) I'm a 'younger' Mini driver. I'm 24, but she's 20, and she's had the car for a few years.
Otherwise, I don't count, because I roll around in either a '97 Wrangler o my '86 Beastarado (Silverado with lots of lift, big tires, etc...).
You're not alone! One day soon I shall have my own MINI.

Hey, 17 years old just got my MINI a few weeks ago. Love it so much and it was/will be well worth the cost. Anyone know of any good websites to get OEM parts?

If you have the part number, e-mail here for the cheapest price you will find. If you can find a cheaper price, please let me know. And make sure to ask for the NAM discount.
bmwparts@classicautocampus.com

If you need part numbers, go here:

Good Luck.

I will be 22 in 2 months so I'm still young. I just bought my first MC 2 days ago. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Can't freaking wait to drive it!

At home I parked in the garage and detailed it once a week haha. If I clean it when I go home then it is just covered in bugs again by the time I drive the 100 miles back to school. I think I need a dust cover because the garage under my apartment puts out a lot more dust than others.

Any of you other college MINI drivers ready to graduate so you can get a job and buy a new MINI? I think a used clubman will be right for me. That or a wagon, depends on if I still love my MINI in a few years lol.

Hahaha, yea I just got a nice reminder of how old I am (25) by getting stoked on finding out all 5 seasons of "21 Jumpstreet" are on streaming netflix.

Well this is interesting.. Im 23 from Long Island, NY.. Just bought my little bugger in August.. This is my first NEW car that I am paying for completely myself. I got the hand-me-down 95 Camry when i got my license, then bought a used 01 Caddy Catera, which I paid about half of (yea i have nice parents) and now finally on my third car, first brand new, and its sweeeet! Hope to meet some of the locals here sometime soon. PM me if you want, dont really use AIM or anything.

Oh yea and nothing beats the 90's rock.. Thats what I'm rockin out to when Im motoring.. Nothing beats some good OLD pearl jam, not so much the new stuff.

Hey, i just saw this thread I'm 21, and got my MINI when I was 19. Its the first car that is all mine and I am paying for all by myself, it is nice to see other MINI drivers as young as myself I rarely do.
